Was woundering if anyone had some spare time and wanted to make a AIM ORC. I want to be able to put it on a friends computer and be able to type something into aim and have it execute a program.

Just an idea. if anyone is willing to do it, it would be great thanks.

AIM has an infinate number of fonts (whatever's on the system really), so this would be an infinate loop. Granted, most (legible) fonts have similar structure, but take Arial for example, type an "O" (letter), now type "0" (zero) now type lower case "o". Now take a good old fasioned one, TERMINAL, and do the same thing.

Not all fonts are as idiot proof as TERMINAL....trust me, I work with the results of OCR programs on a daily basis and they're good, but they get screwey on 6 and G, the above example (0, O and o) tosses it for a loop, even the 3 and E can get hacked about. Dyslexic program anyone?

In all honesty, I think this is equivelant to asking for the moon if you're not willing to fork over some cash. The only way you'll get one free is probably to write it yourself.
